At 4:30, Shu Yige arrived at the coffee shop in the building opposite the saxophone class on time again and ordered a cup of cappuccino as usual.
Chong Yuan was grinding coffee beans at the counter. He looked up and saw her. He suddenly turned around gracefully, then slowly raised his head and blinked his left eye. This was a cool gesture to greet her. Yi Ge smiled slightly.
As the music played gently like the breeze, she drank her cappuccino quietly. Her eyes involuntarily looked towards the 20th floor opposite. It was almost five o'clock, so he... Xi Nan would be here soon...
Every time at this time, her heart always beats, this is her happiest moment of the day. Every minute and every second seems so precious.
Chong Yuan happened to pass by and saw her deep gaze towards the building opposite. Suddenly, he seemed to be thinking about something.
In the past, he always thought that she was looking out the window just for him. He admitted that when he saw her melancholy face looking out the window, he was a little moved... although it was just a little bit... But now, he felt more and more strongly that she seemed to be waiting for something, waiting for something...
He couldn't help but look towards the 20th floor opposite, and he finally saw the row of young men playing golden saxophones and a young man who always wore white clothes, standing at the front of the line.
He discovered that whenever this young man appeared, her body would tremble slightly, her eyes would glow brightly, and she looked unusually lively and beautiful.
Did she come here just to see this young man?
Chong Yuan couldn't believe it. After following her gaze many times, he finally confirmed that the person Yi Ge was obsessed with every day was the young man in white.
Oh, and why does she always order this cup of cappuccino? Aren't there many kinds of coffee? Is there any special meaning? And why does she like to sprinkle vanilla powder on her cappuccino? It's really strange, is it related to that boy?
He looked at her face and couldn't help but walked over. Hey, why is she so arrogant? He had seen many beauties. Compared with them, she was not a great beauty. At most, she was pretty.
But why, when she came, he always looked at her secretly, and why, when he saw her, his heart always beat wildly and there was a faint sweetness in the air?
He shook his head. Hey, he was just curious. This strange girl just made him, a kind-hearted handsome guy, curious. Actually, there was nothing special about her... Yes, there was nothing special about her.
The footsteps were still moving, getting closer and closer to her...
"Why do you always drink cappuccino? Do you like Italy?" A voice came out of nowhere, scaring Yi Ge.
She turned her head and saw that it was the "narcissist". She smiled and said, "I just like him." Then she continued to look at the building opposite and ignored him.
What? Chong Yuan was almost mad. Someone actually dared to act cool in front of him? Or a girl who looked a little... yes, not pretty at all!
But then he hated himself for being spineless even more, and he still introduced with a smile: "Miss, our store has many varieties of coffee to choose from. You don't have to drink that kind of Italian coffee every day, which actually has no taste if you drink too much." What's so good about cappuccino? He really doesn't understand why this little girl never gets tired of drinking it?
She didn't comment, still smiled slightly, and didn't look at him.
He continued, "In fact, you have more choices." He immediately placed a menu in front of her. She looked away, took a look at the menu in front of her, and looked at him with a curious look in her eyes: "What is this?"
He was suddenly overjoyed: "I finally got her attention!" He looked down and saw that she was referring to "Blue Mountain Coffee".
Strike while the iron is hot, he began to talk nonstop: "Miss, I solemnly recommend Blue Mountain Coffee to you. This is the best coffee. This coffee is produced in the Blue Mountain of Jamaica. The Blue Mountain is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. Whenever the sun shines directly on the blue sea , the sunlight is reflected on the mountain and emits a brilliant blue light, so it got this beautiful name."
He paused deliberately. Little girls are usually romantic and should be very interested in this kind of legend. Sure enough, he saw curiosity on her face. He couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. Haha, no matter how unique you are, you are still a little girl.
He continued, "This kind of coffee has all the characteristics of good coffee. It is not only rich and mellow in taste, but also has no bitterness at all due to the perfect combination of sweetness, sourness and bitterness of coffee. It only has a moderate and perfect sourness. It is usually drunk alone, but because of its extremely small production, it is extremely expensive." When he said this, he suddenly lowered his voice and leaned closer to Yige and said, "However, I can give you a discount separately."
Yige smiled slightly and asked, "Anything else?"
Chong Yuan rolled his eyes, scratched his head and said, "There is also Kona coffee. This coffee is made from coffee beans roasted from the volcanic lava in the Kona area of ​​Hawaii. It has a strong, mellow taste with a hint of wine, and a very special taste. The Kona coffee unique to our store has a moderate sour taste and a gentle and rich taste, as well as a unique mellow flavor." He deliberately paused for a moment, winked at her, and then continued, "It will definitely be unforgettable for you."
Yi Ge looked at him with interest, and burst into laughter, with a small dimple on her right cheek: "So there is coffee with grape aroma."
Chong Yuan seldom saw her smile happily in front of him, and even when she did, her smile was always faint. But now , her smile was so bright and pure that he was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long while to come back to his senses.
He coughed again and said, "There are so many delicious coffees. There are Colombian coffee, Java coffee, Mandheling coffee, Mocha coffee, Santos coffee... There is also an Irish coffee, which is made with Irish whiskey, sugar cubes or sugar, and then melted over an alcohol lamp, and then poured into coffee and fresh cream. It is guaranteed to leave you with an endless aftertaste. Do you want to try this one today? Many girls like it." He looked into her eyes and asked.
Yige shook her head gently, tilted her head and said: "Chongyuan, what you said reflects your excellent professionalism, I admire you very much." Yes, anyone who heard it would admire him for reciting it so skillfully, but of course she didn't know that he recited it specially for her. She took another sip of cappuccino, raised her head, smiled and said: "But I just like drinking cappuccino, and I like to drink it every day, and I will never change."
Chong Yuan almost fainted. Oh, it turned out that everything he said just now was in vain. Hey, he was fooled by this little girl again.
Still feeling somewhat unwilling in his heart, he couldn't help but ask: "Then why can't you get tired of drinking cappuccino? Is it really that delicious? Does it have such a great charm to attract you? I don't think you are someone who can be easily attracted. This handsome guy is always in front of you, but you never even look at me." Really, it is very immoral to always attack the super handsome guy who is so handsome that the world cries ghosts, Chong Yuan muttered in his heart.
Yi Ge's face, which had just been bright, suddenly turned dim, as if a dove-gray cloud had covered the clear sky.
The gentle and familiar voice sounded in her ears again.
"This cup of coffee is really not bitter, would you like to try it?" Xinan looked at her gently, his eyes full of doting.
"How can coffee not be bitter?" She didn't believe it.
Xinan smiled slightly, stirred the coffee gently with a spoon, and said: "This cup is not bitter at all, it is the cappuccino coffee you will like. I also added the taste of happiness. You will know after you try it." He put the spoon aside and handed over the cup of coffee: "Try it, I made it myself, don't let me down."
Looking at Xi Nan's expectant face, she pouted her lips, took the coffee reluctantly, took a sip carefully, and didn't speak for a long time.
Xi Nan couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and asked cautiously: "How is it? Do you like it?"
She put down the coffee, sighed softly, and said, "Xinan, I seem to be in a place full of rich fragrance, thinking about many happy things. This cup of coffee has a hint of intoxicating flavor, as if it blends the flavors of all the things I like together... That's right, Xinan." She raised her head and met Xinan's clear eyes, "Yes, I tasted the taste of happiness..."
Xinan smiled slightly, as if relieved: "Yi Ge, as long as you like it." The smile on his face was as thick as ice cream: "You know what? This is the vanilla cappuccino coffee I made for you. I sprinkled some vanilla powder on the fragrant milk foam. The overlapping aroma has the effect of making people relive good memories... After tasting it, all the good memories will come to your mind, and coffee will give you a feeling of happiness." As he spoke, a gentle smile like the night breeze suddenly appeared on his face. He stretched out his arms and gently hugged Yi Ge. The fresh smell of grass made Yi Ge's heart flutter, "Ge'er, this cup of coffee is just for you..."
She also hugged him back gently, her heart filled with emotion and warmth.
From then on, vanilla cappuccino became her favorite...
But now, now she drinks cappuccino, the same taste, but she can't taste the happiness. She just yearns for the intimacy and warmth she once had, which soothes her stomach and makes her forget the pain and longing for a while...
Ten minutes, twenty minutes...
Chong Yuan stared at Yi Ge, who was as still as a statue. Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if she was lost in some memory. She actually kept this posture. Wasn't she tired? Strong man, what a strange strong man.
He stuck out his tongue, not daring to disturb her anymore, so he had to leave quietly.
After walking for a while, he couldn't help but look back at her. Looking at her slender figure, which looked so lonely and desolate in the sunset, he suddenly couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart...
A girl like that really needs a boy to protect and take good care of her...
Or, take care of her yourself?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he was shocked. He quickly shook his head to get rid of the thought, while muttering: "Chongyuan, what's wrong with you? You know, you have very high standards. Don't be so useless, okay..."
